Just to confuse you further young fulla when I was sussing out nonskid earlier this year I applied resene nonskid to one side deck and kiwi grip to the other. The price is the same. I found the resene easier to apply, dries faster and has a much better grip especially when wet. You can roll it but I liked the stippled finish with a brush. I even found the International intergrip nonskid particles in varnish provided a better grip than the Kiwigrip. That's my 50 cents worth

Looking good guys!

Great thanks guys

Please does anyone know if the drain hose from the bottom of the gas locker has to be a special type of hose at all? Thanks

Makes sense, saves $, thanks everyone

Just found the old thread on the galv/steel vs alloy bottles, interesting reading for sure.

Bogan I like your idea, will check that out. Cheers

One of this year's jobs is a proper gas locker so the Mariner Princess can be fired up again and the single burner put in the backup department. Although convenient I wasn't comfortable with the gas bottle being inside. When it comes to gas bottles is there any that are better or worse than others? I'm looking at 8 or 9kg bottles. Besides weight is there any advantage to ali bottles? Any advice from the voice of experience appreciated. Thanks

Thanks KM. That's a very helpful comparison.

Cool! what lovely looking sails
